the 19th century. It is one of "the newest native-speaker varieties of the English language in existence, a variety which has developed and become distinctive only in the last 150 years". The most distinctive influences on New Zealand English have come from Australian English, English in southern England, Irish English, Scottish English and Māori. New Zealand English is similar to Australian English in pronunciation, with some key differences.

American and British words.

New Zealand English speakers will pronounce the word “data” like it is pronounced in American English, “Dar-tah,” not “day-taa,” as in British English.
Debut is pronounced “de-booo,” almost unrecognizable from the UK and American pronunciation.

other non-rhotic dialects such as Australian English, but with some distinct variations, which are indicated by the transcriptions for New Zealand vowels in the tables below:

Draw out the vowel “E” into an “EEE” sound. “Ten minutes” should sound like “teen meenuts.”
Pronounce the short “A” sound like a long “O.” In the short “A,” such as in “awesome” or “Auckland,” say “oarsome” or “Oarkland.”

of New Zealand English; vowels are altered so they nearly all sound the same. For example, although there is a marked difference between the vowel sounds in the words “near” and “square” for British and American English speakers, the vowel sounds are the same in New Zealand English. The short “I” is flattened and pronounced like a “U.” “Fish and chips” should sound like “fush and chups.”

end of declarative sentences.

To American and British English speakers, it can sound like Kiwis are asking questions, when they are simply making statements.

“Avenue,” they all say “Av” instead.
Dairy: As well as its association with milk production, in NZ the “dairy” also refers to the local shop / corner shop. Your local dairy does not just sell milk! You can get bread, snacks, newspapers, and groceries from the dairy.
Bach: holiday home, often coastal.
Chilli Bin: cooler.
Jandals: flip flops or thong footwear.
Manchester: bed linen.
Lollies: sweets or candies.
Shonky – mild profanity. Not as bad as “munted.”
Munted: not good. Less vulgar than “rooted.”
Rooted: Rooted is a vulgar term used in place of the F-word. For example, “That’s rooted,” means “The item in question is no longer in working order.”
Stoked: very pleased.

New Zealand English that sound similar to phrases in British or American English, but actually have contradictory meanings. Although you will be able to pick up the meaning from speakers’ body language and context clues, some false cognates are more confusing than others, and you’ll need to memorize many. Quite nice: something that is unpleasant.
To have a mare: to make a fool of yourself.
Sweet As: agreed, or good.
Yeah-nah: No thank you.

For example, you may hear someone say they’ll visit their “rellies” (relatives) after they eat “brekkie” (breakfast).
